THE REASON WH¥.

By "One Who Knows." When the kidneys and liver are inactive or diseased, certain wast© .poisons are retained in the system, and we suffer from Rheumatism Gout, Indigestion, Biliousness, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Sick Headache, General Debility, Backache, Sciatica, Anaemia, Blood Disorders. Gravel, Stone, and Bladder Troubles. The reason why Warner's Safe Cure c-ures all these disorders speedily and permanently is that they all arise from an indifferent action of the kidneys and liver. Warner's Safe C/ure restores the kidneys and liver to health and activity, causing the waste poisons to be eliminated from the system in a natural manner, when pain ilae to the- presence of such poifcons is necessarily at an end. In addition to the regular, & and 2s 93 bottles of Warner's Safe Care, a concentrated form of the medicine is now issued at 2s 6d per bottle. Warner's Safe Cure (Concentrated) is not compounded with alcohol, and contains the same number of doses as the 5s bottle of Warner's Safe Cure. H. H. Warner and Co. (Ltd.), Melbourne, Vie.

• " J - of the speakers referred to the possible downfall of Great • .<, though the growing national' fondness fpr luxury and spit living, and one gentleman recalled the pooa- response Lord Roberts had met with when he .had been forced td etump the country recently in the endeavour to raise 1 money for rifle corps. The lecturer* himself said he feared there was a slackening "in the moral fibre of the nation, but whether it was only a passing wave or not he was not prepared to say. A Press Association' telegram from Christchurch, says it is understood that 6teps have been taken to appeal on law points against the judgment of Mr H. W. Bishop, S.M., in the case of F. H. Christian, a bookseller's assistant employed by Messrs Whitcombe and Tombs, who was found guilty of having sold immoral literature and was fined. The semi-jubilee conference of the Baptist Union will be held at Nelson from Wednesday next to the following Wednesday (14th to 21st), with the Rev. F. G. Buckingham (of Oamaru) as president, the Rev. William Hay (of Hanover street) as vice-president, and the Rev. R. S. Gray (of Chrietohurch) as secretary. Je" When I was advising chemist to some of the butter companies in Victoria," eaid the principal of the Hawkesbury College (N.S.W.) during a lecture, " it became my unpleasant duty, after looking at some of their milk, to inform the directors that they were paying for fromr^lOOO to* 3000 gallon? of weter a,,- week at 3d & gallon. 'We used to get frogs and leeches from those cows. That dishonesty was going through the industry; it would soon have made dairying impossible. But Dr Bab■'cock, of Wisconsin., invented a little machine, and the whole milk and butter industry to-day depends on that one device — the milk-tester — every bit as much, in its way. as on tho 'separator. There is an interesting difference between the men who invented the two. De- Laval, in Stockholm, did not really invent the separator. It was invented by someone in the eevenj teenth century, but De Laval caw the use jof i+. He did a great work with it for the j world, and was very well repaid, for he took out a patent, and is a rich man to-day. Dr Baboock would not patent the tester. He gave it to tn© farmers of the whole world; tho only prize he would accept for it was" a medal from his own State." While in Wellington last week, Mr R. Chisholm waited on the Minister of Marino (Hon. J. A. Millar) in reference to the Portobello Fi6h Hatchery Board's request for further assistance in the carrying out of its work of fish acclimatisation. As a result of that interview, Mr Chisholm considers that there is every probability of an assistant being provided for Mr Anderton, also of an increased grant being made for the successful continuance of the splendid work that has already been carried .out at the butchery. It is also highly pvobablo that money will be provided whereby the present accommodation, which is much too restricted, may be increased to more adequately meet present and prospective requirements. A Westport telegram state* that Anders Anderson, who was falseiy changed with the murder of Bourioe <md sentenced to a term of imprisonment, but •was eul ses qiicncly leleagod, is spffcring fioni epileptic ! iHs induced by mentsj strain. He has been uncoiibcious einc^ 8 o'clock on Sunday night. //« ctie^L » The engineer rcpcrtcl to Mondnj'* meeting of the Taieri Drainage Board thar tho puinpo that had been remownjj the flood water fiom tho Taieri Plain had b"en so puecessful that there were j:o\v only a few acres of low and swampy land ur.clciwater. He expeded that when the board atrain sat he would be in a position to report that the TaiTi Plain \\£t> quite c't.vr of flood water. An extraordinary accident hefe'l a Ijoy named Sydney Blakie, at Ryal Bush, .Southland, on Sunday. He- wai carrying a rifle thrown earele-t-ly acres-, the hollow of his light arm. when the caruidge exploded, and i':e bullet penetrated the fleohy part lof his right forearm. He, however (cays Ihe Southland Times>, stoically reloaded the i:flc and continued on his mission, presumably .to ehect rabbits. The pain of the wound made him faint and dizzy, and j he* stumbled and fell. The shock exploded the charge again, and ho received a second wound, this time on the right leg below

the calf. Even then he continued! on his journey, and gamely made his way home, where it was at first thought he had been the victim of" foul play. It was subsequently" ascertain-cd tshat the lad had obtained" the rifle unknown to hie people. . At a representative gathering of Brighton residente, held on the 10th inst., a resolution was passed asking the Otokia Domain j Board (the Taieri County Council) to hand ' over the control of the domain to a board of local residents. Suitable names were selected for the constitution of such a board. The following resolutions bearing upon the working of the Residential College, Dunedin, were agreed to at a full meeting of the Clutha Presbytery, held at Milton on Friday last:— ''That the Presbytery considers — (1) That it should be clearly stated that our students of theology have first choice for chambers, and that Presbyterian students in other faculties have priority j over those of other denominations. (2) That tho i<Jea of providing tuition for students, and especially for non-theological students, is. unnecessary and impracticable. (3) That the Church is not in a position to incur - the large additional expenditure suggested— viz., £600 a year for a- principal. * j (4) That *he subjects referred to in para- ] graph 3-^-viz., practical training, tbe ! English Bible, and biblical" 1 theology,' ehould form part of the- regu-lar theological course, and be taken up by the two professors of the Church. (5) That in ihe meantime it is /sufficient to appoint a capable working manager and a matron. (6) That the necessary oversight and discipline* can ( be obtained, as in some of the Home institutions 'of a similar kind, by appointing the professors as visitors, and two or three of the senior students as prefects/ A large meeting of the Institute of .""Marino Engineers waa held in the City Hotel on Saturday even-ing, to meet Mr A. JR.. Hislop,' the general secretary, from Wellington, who is on an organising tour of the Dominion. Mr John Cook was in the chair. Mr Hislop addressed those present regarding the , objects of his mission, which were principally to bring about a strong combination of the trained engineers of the Dominion — men who had served an apprenticeship to the trade, and further " qualified for their profession. There were upwards of 5000 trained engineers in New Zealand, whose position as mechanics was being assailed by the issue of large numbers of certificates to enginedrivers, who, according to the -regulations, required to put in only 18 months' ser- ' vice in a subordinate capacity before they could sit for examination. If they passed the examination they would secure a "certificate enabling them to take charge of machinery to any power. The institute, {or the first time in its existence (a matter of 28 yeare), had taken the field in the interests; of ite members and their employers. The meeting was large and enthusiastic. A strong working committee was set up, and Lit has been decided to call together thfl engineers of Dunedin and surroundings at meeting*, which will be held during the next week or so at some convenient time and place. Mr Hislop proceeded by the Moeraki to the Bluff yesterday, but will I return to continue his campaign on Thure- " day next. Within the last few years several attempts to discover a second track, suitable for tourists, between Lake To Anau and Milford Sound, have been made by Mr Grave, in company vith other keen explorers. A Press Association telegram from Auckland states that two detective?, having to arrest a young man charged with a criminal assault on a child, adopted the extraordinary course of entering the window of "the accused's residence, and seizing him when he entered his bedroom in the dark. On Monday ne.<t the Taieri Drainage J Board will proceed to inspect the whole "of the Taieri Plain, co that the members may gain an idea of what i 6 required in theirdistrict in the way of drainage improvements. The present idea ie to commence ( at the upper end of the plain, and, so ' far as is possible, follow the course of the ; various streams— the tributaries of the Taieri River. A Press Association telegram from Palmerston North state*: "The Manawatu ' Times' special correspondent states that at ' a meeting of electors at Foxton addressed ; by Mr Fi«mkknd on the I2th a resolution ' was carried, on the motion of Mr Hcnnessy 1 (chairman of the Chambor of Commercj), urging Ihat tho vacancy in the Cabinet hhould be filled by a North Island reprc- | sentativo, and that no one was more deserv- ' ing than Mr A. W. Hogg, M.P." I At a meeting of the Clutha Presbytery j ' on Friday it was unanimously decided, on : rhe motion of the Key. Mr Fraser, seconded I by the Rev. Mr Blair, to urge all memI bors of the Church and the electors to ' vote no-licoiifie at the forthcoming local j option po!!. } The fcett-paul clergy in Siberia get about I -£120 a year, whLe the poorer clergy have ; often to beg for their bread. They have a great deal to do. There w always a ser\ice between 4 and 5 in the morning, an-d there are two other services in the day. There must be a service on; the birth of a child, and at the death of anyone in the parish.' AH new buildings, echooihousee, bridges, and boats must be blessed; child- | ren beginning at a school term are blessed, j and in time of pestilence or peril there must be continuous prayer, and monaetio I priests never eat meat.
